    Its the Government that need to decide where we go from here not the leave campaigners.
    The public decided they wanted to leave and now OUR government have to find a way to take us forward. That's what they are there for isn't it?

    The government gave everyone a CHOICE as to how they want to take the UK forward.
    The public chose to leave so now they have to take the UK forward for us.
    Its what they are paid for.

    So if the government sign us back to the free trade area with free movement and contributions into the EU, but we are not part of the EU and do not have to send MEPs, that would be ok because they are the democratically elected government and they are OUR government.

    Works for me as a next best solution. I just didn't realise the leave voters would be ok with this.

    Hmm - not so much patriotism as more a sense of belonging in your street or town, not the feeling that you will push off somewhere else if there is a recession or there are lower taxes elsewhere or you get fed up with the weather.....

    That is a nice emotive argument but one that doesn't reflect most people's reality. People move from their home areas all the time to where work is. I don't really think you expect people to live on benefits in their home town while there is work available in another region.

    At the moment that's looking like the best possible scenario.

    Paying more for what we have now with no say at all into the running of the bloc.

    The Leave voters will be too thick to understand what has been agreed. It won't stop the ugly tide of English nationalism though.

    The 'migrants' get off their !!!!!! and go where the work is (by definition)

    The people of Sunderland (for example) stay where they are a beg for handouts

    I know who I would rather keep.

    But we won some wars init .

    There was one good thing about the Brexit vote, I now know who to support in this early evening's Wales v Northern Ireland match, come on the Green and White army! Although I suspect that Wales will actually get through to the quarter finals.

    Ever since I saw The Exorcist on dodgy pirate VHS I have been haunted by the images of an angry person putting a cross in the box.

    :(

    Referendums , like drugs, just say NO.

    Somebody has bought the remain scaremongering hook, line and sinker, and is "too thick" to see through it.
